Choose example work you have done this quarter (e.g. Heredity Project) that demonstrate TWO of the following statements and then reflect (describe/explain & give examples) on how this work actually demonstrates the TWO statements that you choose.
S3B3. Understands asexual and sexual reproduction (e.g. in terms of how traits are passed to offspring- heredity, and the advantages/disadvantages of both).
S3B4. Knows where heredity information is contained and the different ways in which inherited traits of an individual are determined.
S3B5. Knows that the characteristics of an organism can be describe in terms of a combination of traits; some traits are inherited through the coding of genetic material and others result from environmental factors.
